'vm$M'—^^^r^0^''

Seated next to him is Vernon Kays .county clerk.
In the past all the minutes were taken down in shorthand by a sec¬ retary. Now with the added micro¬ phone, everything said is recorded. In this way no minor detail which might be left out of them inutes will be overlooked.
If Mr. Mackeben is re-elected to this office he will be the first man t succeed himself in the poat in the history of McHenry County.
